Is bowed in reverence to God."

He took his sword and clanking trod

The stone-paved vault and winding stair,

Till she could judge him mounting where

Another turn would bring to sight

Her dead love's face in the shafted light

Where the moonbeam washed the turret white.

She bared her feet and crept the floor,

With eager hands wrenched loose the door,

And weeping passed into the night.
